Transcribed from the clipping

“Your editorial ‘Israel Finds Its Voice’ (Sept. 29) misunderstands history and misreads the facts… Those who opposed Begin are in agreement with him on the dismemberment of Palestine; their disagreement is as to the instrument of torture and how far they should go… in order to establish and retain the Jewish state in Palestine.”

Published a fortnight after Sabra and Shatila, answering the paper’s own editorial.
